Barnsley Council has gone to extreme measures to highlight the problem of fly-tipping in the borough by dumping a big pile of rubbish outside the town hall.
You've been reacting to the news on the BBC Radio Sheffield's Facebook, external page:
Quote MessageMaybe councils could help in doing a monthly collection of large items that people fine difficult to get rid of. I'm sure some of it before it rotted on the streets would have been able to be used by charities where people need furniture. No way I'm a saying fly tipping is acceptable but maybe there is a way of stopping people having to tip things on the street before it creates a problem. Just a thought."
Debbie Gallagher
Quote MessageAbsolutely no excuse. As I understand it council tenants can have rubbish collected free of charge and in private homes there is a small fee. Or take it to a tip."
Sonia Wilson
Quote MessageBarnsley's just one big dumping ground.
